Egoku Dōmyō (1632–1721) was an Ōbaku priest ordained at the age of nine into the Rinzai sect. In 1650 he met Tao-che—the Abbot of Sofuku-ji—in Nagasaki Japan and subsequently joined his temple. Later he joined the assembly at Mampuku-ji in 1663 following the death of Tao-che. There he trained under his master’s teacher Yin-Yuan and his disciple Mu-an. He was ordained an Obaku monk in 1665 at the temple receiving inka from Mu-an—Mu-an’s second Dharma transmission.
